Hi, im thinking of making some interior changes... I've noticed painting the dash parts is fairly popular on the site, although i'd imagine pulling the dash apart would be a bit of a pain in the ***..??
If anyone has any other ideas they'd be appreciated. Cheers |

depends on what is in the car already, interior mods can range from painting dash parts etc to changing the door handles to the chrome ones or shifter surrounds and things like that, there is no limit but it just depends on what sort of look you want to have as the end result.

I have the black and blue XR interior at the moment, i'm not looking to change everything... i want to keep it within the same colour-scheme just reduce the amount of black im thinkin...
just want to know whether just doing a couple things is worth the effort (pulling the dash etc apart), or are ya better off going all out??

I modified mine but went with the factory look, got T3 shifter surround and door spears, T3 dash, Fairlane leather seats and console lid, all the factory courtesy lights that they ever offered
 :, and I reckon it looks ok. I'd love a red leather interior though.

do you mean these?
 took a bit of filing of the sides of the pedals as AU ones are fatter and a drilled hole for the screw and away you go. i bought them from FTG auto salvage for $100
